No Stopping

Earth can stop rotating

Constellations can stop appearing in the night sky

 

The sun can stop casting shadows

The moon can stop shining after dark

 

Trees can stop emanating oxygen

Leaves can stop changing colour

 

Oceans can stop crashing their tides

Wind can stop drifting wished upon eye lashes

 

Birds can stop their migration

Spiders can stop spinning their webs

 

Children can stop playing with their rocking horse

Grandmas can stop baking chocolate chip cookies

 

Pastors can stop officiating

Rabbis can stop praying

 

Secrets can stop being hidden

Dreams can stop occupying your sleep

 

Poets can stop writing

Artists can stop painting

 

Memories can stop being remembered

Futures can stop being predicted

 

My love for you,

            — will never stop
